The appeal was allowed and leave to file and serve the 3rd Defendant's second affirmation was granted because the substantive hearing had been adjourned so prejudice to the Plaintiff could be minimized, the applicant provided an explanation for delay that was not inexplicable, and the interests of justice required the new defence to be ventilated; the Plaintiff was given 28 days to file an affirmation in reply and costs were allocated accordingly.
